How To Fix Prime Video VR Oculus Quest Problems?
It is mostly possible to fix Prime Video VR and Oculus Quest 2 issues by simply reinstalling the Prime Video app, but there are other possible causes, such as corrupted stored data, WiFi network dropouts, and glitches in the application.
As per the official Prime Video VR support, the issues can be fixed by following the below steps one by one:
- You should clear the data and cache for the Prime Video app.
- Perform a restart, de-register the Device, and then register it back again.
- Un-install and Re-install the app.
- Try streaming the video again.
Although a number of users followed the instructions, the problem still persisted, which is why I have listed all possible solutions below for you to try one by one, and by the end of this guide, you will be able to start using your Prime Video VR app on your Oculus Quest 2 without any issues.
Here are the steps you need to take in order to get the Prime Video VR app running on your Oculus Quest 2.
Check Oculus Servers
As a first step, you should check the Oculus server status, because if the servers are not up and running, then Oculus will not function properly.
You can check the server status by visiting the downdetector/oculus.
Manually Clear Cache and Stored Data
While playing Prime Video VR on Oculus, because of frequent updates and dynamic data, the stored data may be corrupted or conflict with one another, so it would be best to delete and clear all stored data for the Prime Video VR app.
Check Wifi Router Connection
In the event that the internet connection is unstable and experiences frequent drops, the app will not be able to transfer data between the server and client.
If that is the case, you will need to turn off the router for about three or four minutes and turn it back on after that.
Additionally, you can change the 2.4 GHz bandwidth to 20/40 by navigating to the admin page of your wifi router, which will provide more bandwidth across all connected devices.
Check Prime Video VR App Permission
Oculus Quest 2 sometimes needs additional permissions to store and retrieve data, and when I faced this issue and Prime Video VR stopped working, I manually deleted the app and installed it again. After providing the data storage permission, it worked and the issue was resolved.
Here’s how to do this:
Settings > Storage > PrimeVR > Delete App Data
Settings > App Permissions > PrimeVR > [grant access to internal storage]
Conclusion
Due to its infancy and frequent updates, Prime Video VR users are likely to face various issues while using it with Oculus Quest 2.
Fortunately, all of these issues are minor and I’ve provided you with different methods through which you can easily resolve them. Hopefully, it will be helpful to you.
